The total coinage at United Sta tes
Mints in April was S., 045, ,S95, of whi ch

eagles. s., 600, 900 in silver dollars, $780,.
600 in dimes, S74,S25 in nickels, and
$50, 100 in cents.
The annual supply of silver from the
mines of the world, has largely increased
in the last fourteen years, the period
covered by the marked decline in the
market price of silver, and has doubled
since 1872; that is, from $62. 900, 900 in
that year, to $l24, 900, 900 in 1886.
During the last decade, although the
circulation of paper money in all civil
lied countries advanced 90 per cent,
the gold reserves were augmented by rs
per cent. Fifteen years ago, there was o
dollar of gold coin for every $500 of
paper in circulation, while in 1885 there
was gold dollar for every $2.40 of
paper, and this, too, when paper cur.
rency had greatly increased in the mean
time.
An american Cattle Trust" has been
organized with an alleged paid.up capi.
tai of $25,0O0,0 900. The combination
has its interests centered in New York,
Chicago. and the great cattle ranches of
the West. and its object is to own or
manage the whole cattle.rsising bust
ness of the country, or as much as it can
get hold of. The combination includes
many capitalists, East and West.
The Law authorizing the redemption of
trade dollars has already been in opera
tiOn over three montha and hos fbraa
months to run. 1t was originally esti-
mated that there were about 1000, 900
of these coins in this country, and the
redemptions show that the estimate is
nearly correct. Importations from China
and Japan may swell the amount to
SIS, 600, 900.

REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.
NEW YORK, June l7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: 'It
=. that tsun of tho
great speculations by which legitimate
business for months has been embar-
rassed have come to an end without dis
aster to other parties, save those who
had invited disaster. Arnold & Co. in
coffee, and Kershaw & Co. in grain,
with powerful combinations behind
them, have broken, with number
of smaller operators, but commerce and
finances have not been seriously dis
turbed. Those who derided or disputed
the wheat statistics given three months
ago in this review can now see whether
these figures were more correct than the
estimates of the speculatipg ring. March
10Th this review said that the ''surplus
was in excess of the years home demand
and the l04, 100000 bushels stated to
have been exported were no more than
90,000,000 bushels. Spectators ridi-
culed this warning, but 100000 bush
els more have been exported to date,
and the home demand has been satisfied
within l3 days of the end of the crop
year. The visible supply of
wheat is 42.ll2,l76 bushels,- besides
all the wheat in farmers hands and
country elevators, and all the flour in
the country. For the first time since
February, Chicago was selling wheat for
export on Thursday. and the market is
now gradually adjusting itself to the
natural condition. The sales of wheat
here reached 90, 1917, 900 bushels, and OF
cofee, l,272,000 bags. In both markets
liquidation is progressing with more
quiet feeling.
